I cry when a soldier lies dead..
so painful it is for his mother who nurtured him,
for his father who had expectations from him,
for his wife who lives for him and now she’s widow
for his children who have yet to live their lives without him..
Yes, I cry for this soldier who sacrifices his life for his country,
Can the country give him even one percent of what he gave it…
I cry……
